French Typewriter is a slab serif typeface created in 2019 by Jean-Renaud Cuaz. It takes roots in the typewriting font styles with a French flair.

In the history of this font style, early typewriters were initially thought to be replacements for printing and so featured proportional fonts, before being replaced by monospaced typefaces. French Typewriter was created with proportional design, departing from the constraint of identical width and space.

Designed for vintage and modern use with a script influenced italic, French Typewriter provides a large range of weights from Extra Light to Black with matching italics offering a large palette of styles for both vintage and modern design.

A series of swash capitales has been created for all 6 italic weights along with ligatures and alternative a, g, y signs to provide opportunities for attractive text design. Fine tuned kerning has been implemented to make this slab serif font family greatly legible in small size. Condensed styles will be available in 2019.

Somes Slab is a slab serif small caps designed by Ivan Yelizarow in 2019, inspired and named after The Somes Island in Wellington, New Zealand.
One of its distinctive features is a combination of fine wavy curves with slab serifs that makes it ideal for headlines, subheads, name on business cards, spotlighting a short few-paragraph text that needs detachment, also perfectly having a room for art projects.

A monospace cousin is the perfect addition to our existing Lexia family, a contemporary slab-serif design with remarkable versatility. Lexia Mono was drawn specifically with programmers and designers who work with tough compositional issues in mind. Its clean, uninterrupted rhythm and even colour make it remarkably easy to read, while its characters flow just like on a typewriter. Unlike many monospace font families which consist of only Regular and Bold weights, Lexia Mono also features a Light, stylish true italics, and box-drawing characters for terminal use.

Inspired by the blocky charm of historical geometric slab serifs, Mokoko combines a timeless look with progressive technology in multiple weights and styles. Supporting all European languages using the Latin script, and with seven weights ranging from Thin to Black with matching italics, Mokoko is as functional as it is characterful. Its heavy weights lend themselves to bold displays while the lighter weights are more discreet and functional, supporting long-form text.

Verismo (Italian for ‘realism’, from vero, meaning ‘true’) is a genre of operas with scenarios based on contemporary everyday life. This font is inspired by old school sign painting techniques. In addition, the font has a contemporary look and can therefore be used in many different designs.
